Professional Chimney Sweeping and Creosote Removal
Secure your residence by eliminating soot and creosote before they become a fire hazard. This will reduce chimney temperatures, enhance draft, and keep combustion byproducts venting safely outdoors. Begin with a cool system, appropriate PPE, and containment to safeguard interiors. Perform flue brushing with correctly fitted poly or steel rods, proceeding top-to-bottom to remove all stages of buildup. Extract with a HEPA system to contain fine particulates. Perform creosote testing to detect glazed deposits that demand mechanical scraping or chemical treatment. Clean the smoke shelf, firebox, and damper tracks, and ensure the cap and spark arrestor are unobstructed. Discard debris safely in metal containers. Conclude with airflow verification and odor checks to verify effective removal and consistent draft for dependable operation.
Thorough Safety Inspections and Evaluations
Prior to lighting your first seasonal fire, book a Level I-III inspection that follows NFPA 211 to verify the safety and code compliance of your heating system. The initial Level I assessment reviews clearances and general condition, while Level II includes detailed video examination of accessible spaces and flues. Level III is necessary for hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
Throughout our inspection, we examine the condition of the liner, combustible clearances, and crown and cap and draft performance and termination heights. We conduct ventilation testing to confirm proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our safety checklist covers firebox and damper functionality, smoke chamber status, appliance connections, gas log safety, and carbon monoxide pathways. You'll get a comprehensive assessment with images and recommendations to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
Expert Chimney Maintenance and Masonry Work
When damage, deterioration, or code issues arise, we swiftly proceed with focused chimney rehabilitation, relining, and masonry fixes to restore structural integrity and safe draft. We evaluate spalling brick, cracked crowns, failed mortar joints, and compromised liners, then implement code-compliant solutions. You receive expert tuckpointing, crown restoration with appropriate drip edges, and cap placement that maintain proper airflow and water protection.
When your liner shows signs of damage through fractures, inadequate sizing, or corrosion, our team implements high-quality stainless or ceramic liner solutions perfectly sized to match your appliance's BTU output and height, ensuring optimal draft and reducing creosote buildup. Our team improves smoke chambers with careful parging application to achieve smoother flow. We provide comprehensive masonry work including replacing damaged bricks, stabilizing lintels and waterproofing stone against moisture and salt infiltration. All restoration work is fully documented, pressure-tested when necessary, and comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Modern Fireplace Solutions and Upgrades
Enhance your space with a safer, cleaner, and more efficient hearth with code‑compliant fireplace upgrades, premium-performance inserts, and intelligent updates. You'll enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and satisfy WA codes. We assess hearth integrity, chimney capacity, and safety distances, then propose high-performance inserts matched to your home's heating needs, preferred fuel, and chimney setup. Direct‑vent gas, EPA‑certified wood, or pellet inserts deliver controlled burning, better heat distribution, and consistent airflow management.
We install new worn dampers with premium sealing solutions, add insulated stainless liners where necessary, and ensure proper hearth protection, mantel clearances, and CO/smoke alarm placement. With intelligent fireplace controls, you can control ignition, configure temperature limits, integrate remote monitoring, and add safety lockouts. We finalize every upgrade with comprehensive inspections and necessary records for permits and warranties.
Fixing Draft, Odor, and Smoke Problems
Once inserts and controls have been upgraded, you still need the system to breathe correctly. Draft issues, smoke problems, and unpleasant odors commonly result from negative pressure, blocked flues, or incorrect damper and cap geometry. Our team evaluates stack effect, uses manometers for draft measurement, and confirms cross-sectional dimensions, liner continuity, and termination height.
We fix restrictions, remove creosote, and set balanced airflow across the firebox, makeup air, and exhaust components. You'll receive optimized combustion air, properly adjusted dampers, and secure gasketing to stop smoke backdrafts. We address ash dump leaks, smoke chamber offsets, and misfit hearth appliances.
To control unwanted smells, we focus on void sealing and ventilation enhancement and recommend dry fuel and proper cures for masonry. In locations with strong winds, we incorporate specialized baffled caps. We'll validate results using safety protocols including smoke testing and carbon monoxide monitoring.
